BAT TEST
F3 will start a manual battery test. The duration of
this battery test is determined by the system configuration (usually 1
minute). The test will not start if the mains power is off, or a battery test
(automatic or manual) is already in progress.
During the battery test, a progress indication will be displayed showing
the number of minutes remaining for the test. A manual battery test
cannot be cancelled once under way. The battery test lowers the battery
charger voltage (to 22-23V) so that the panel and loads are powered by
the battery.
MX1
also carries out automatic battery tests. The scheduling and
duration of these tests are determined as part of the
MX1
configuration,
and require no operator intervention under normal conditions.
By default the test will start at 9am on each working day and last for 60
minutes.
If the battery fails the automatic test the FAULTS indicator will light and
the failure will be logged in the Event History (see Chapter 4). Where
available, the service company will be notified.
The automatic battery test can be cancelled as follows.
